Saudi Arabia’s Transport General Authority (TGA) enforces a new Road Transport Law banning unlicensed passenger transport, including hailing and soliciting passengers. Violators face fines up to SAR 20,000, vehicle impoundment, possible auctioning, and deportation for non-Saudis. The TGA combines strict penalties with awareness campaigns to protect passengers, ensure service quality, and support licensed operators.
